{{Isaro Foundation will host a \u2018book-drive\u2019 at Oklahoma Christian University in the United States between March 26 and April 1aimed at addressing the lack of books in Rwandan schools.}}<\/p>\n
At the event, Isaro Foundation encourages students and professors to participate by donating any books they can spare in the student center.<\/p>\n
\u201cMany high schools in Rwanda have books, but they\u2019re outdated- most were written in the 1980s or 70s especially science books. Students in Rwanda have many tests about reading, but they can\u2019t get sources to read from,\u201dThierry Tuyishimire says.<\/p>\n
\u201cMany people here have books they don\u2019t use. If they have books at home they don\u2019t use anymore they can give them to Isaro Foundation. We collect them. Students that have books for a class that they completed that would be good for high school students, would have a positive impact in a Rwandan school.\u201d<\/p>\n
Junior Robert Rugamba working with Isaro encourages students at Oklahoma Christian University to participate in the book drive because it doesn\u2019t cost anything. <\/p>\n
Donating books will allow students to change people\u2019s lives in Rwanda by improving reading skills.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere is a need and [students at Oklahoma Christian University] have the means to solve it, and it\u2019s not costly. We need all the help and cooperation of the university to make this a success. When people go home over spring break they can get any books they have.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Oklahoma Christian chapter of the Isaro Foundation started last September and has already donated 2,000 books to four high schools in Rwanda.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
